A player's grade is based solely on his value for 2019-20. The value compares 2018-19 earnings vs. 2019-20 projected earnings. A player like Rickie Fowler might earn a "D" grade or lower, but that is no indication of how he will play this year. It is simply a result of how his 2019-20 projected earnings compare to his 2018-19 earnings.

Improvement percentage (2018-19 earnings vs. 2019-20 projected earnings) is the factor that drives the grading process. Anything positive is a good score, though a slight positive score might just reflect inflation in prize money.
